+The Hybrid Hernandez What camera is that? Usually I prefer the camera to be mounted on the helmet, but I have to admit it is nice to be able to see your target. The main disadvantage to barrel-mounting the camera (in my mind) is that it kind of creates a tunnel vision effect... if that makes sense, sort of like when you're looking into a scope in a video game and lose touch with your surroundings. Plus when your gun is pointed at the ground you can't see anything in the video. I think it would be awesome to have the view in your video AND have an additional GoPro mounted on your helmet. That way you could get the sense of being in the action from the gopro, and actually see what you're seeing. Then whenever you're shooting at a target you could cut to the camera on your barrel. Obviously this would require more time editing (not to mention an extra gopro) I liked your very first video, pretty similar to mine actually, I thought that was funny.
Jesse Martin Polaroid xs100. I do have a head mounted go pro. That has for some reason(I believe its bad luck) never recorded anything for me on the paintball field. I also have never been a big fan of the head mounted camera because half the time your just looking at a wall or the back of the hopper. I feel if my camera is mounted on my head when i try and look around the corner the enemy can see the camera before i can see them. I have done it myself, as soon as the camera comes around the corner start shooting. Yea i thought that too. I had only been paint balling a few months at that point. I didn't edit anything in that video. I think my living legends video is my favorite, hands down.
+The Hybrid Hernandez Haha, I do have plenty of video of my hopper... Once I tried to mount it on the chin of my helmet, because I didn't want it to stick out like you said. All you can see is my arm the entire video.
nice base capture!
Haha, thanks man!
Good stuff
Thanks man!

Wow, they were all behind there? You didn't even have to fire a shot. Nice.
Thanks! This happened in one of the first games, we were talking about it nonstop for the rest of the day!! Couldn't WAIT to watch the video!
